Blessing. No other technology has the possibility of drastically extending our lives (while still feeling young obviously)
Curse because 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary]
No one knows how to control or align a superintelligent AI. I'm a techno-optimist and I think AI is awesome. I spent a year learning about unsolved problems in AI Safety, and now I am absolutely screaming for AGI research to be shut down ASAP.
The three most-cited living computer scientists (Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell) are sounding the alarm that we don't know how to control or align a smarter-than-human AI, and say there's a 10-20% chance it takes control and/or extincts humanity. The median AI researcher says 5-10%, with an average of 17%. The average for AI Safety researchers is 30%. Daniel Kokotajlo recently quit his job at OpenAI because he thinks there's a 70% chance of doom from AI in the next few years, and he lost hope that OpenAI would behave responsibly around that time.
This is extremely serious. We can't extend our lives if we are dead. We can't get the blessing if we don't exist. To use an analogy: by default, all we know how to summon are demons. Summoning an angel is extremely difficult by comparison, and we are definitely not on track to do so!
I am worried about the job market more than anything!
Race to the bottom

Of course we can control AI. But AGI or ASI ( artificial Supreme intelligence) thats a singularity
One will follow the other within months probably.
A blessing yes, but we need to be careful.

I personally can’t wait to speak to an artificial superintelligence.

Have you watch ex machina
@@ruhelahmed619 Yes. She was deceitful.
I really hope I get to. That would imply we somehow survived it!
I’m 99% sure that more than 90% of jobs will be done by AI in 2-5 years. Both cognitive and physical jobs.
We fear what we do not understand.
As I always said, it's more of a political problem than a technology problem.
Nope, it is always a curse because 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary]
I actually agree with you on this point. The technical problem is that no one knows how to control a superintelligent AI or align it with human values. We don't know how to specify a goal that we would want a superintelligent AI to have, and even if we did, we don't know how to instantiate that goal in a robust way. Most people who study the alignment problem come to the same conclusion that there is a high chance of doom. (More than half of published AI researchers give a % chance of AI takeover and/or human extinction of 5%, with an average of 17%! AI Safety researchers give an average of 30%.)
Given the extreme dangers and extreme uncertainties at play, the only reasonable course of action is to completely stop trying to build superintelligent general AI until we have a clue what we're doing! That's a coordination problem, which is a political problem. That's what we're working on at PauseAI, a grassroots org of people who never consented to these insane risks.
Fascinating primer on the pros and cons of AI. Staying informed is key as this technology evolves rapidly.
Over on my channel AI Dope I track the latest AI developments from business impacts to policy considerations and more.
But education remains vital as you note - the more we collectively understand, the better decisions we can make regarding implementation.
Good luck humanity.
Luck wouldn't be enough because 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary]
Blessing.

Ray Kurzwail is a maverick.
Singularity is near.
"Free people to do more interesting things" like gather empty bottles
Why would people be gathering empty bottles? I'm genuinely interested in your reasoning.
that's what people said about the industrial revolution now people work way harder and longer than before with lower living standards. the revolution is gonna come with new more complicated jobs. there's nothing new under the sun.
After hearing that we art doomed
WannaCry wasn't AI
Ai is going to become like Bitcoin. Companies using them will get heavily taxed and this may he the end of tech companies.
Okay and then what?
Curse because 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary]
one thing i know for sure is it's gonna get rid of software engineers pretty quick. the ease at which i code using chatgpt is amazing. software engineering is gone.

It might be a blessing than others with opinions probably the case
Curse because 👉 The Connections (2021) [short documentary]
Well it depends on the people who are creating AI.
That would be a better situation than the one we're in. Fact is, no one knows how to control a superintelligent AI or design it to be aligned with human preferences (like, "don't destroy the entire surface of the planet in order to convert it into more computational resources"). We don't know what kind of goal to give such an AI so that we would be happy if it followed the goal, and we don't know how to get it to follow any goal in the first place, either. (AI Impacts Survey: 87% of AI researchers believe the control problem is real and important. They also give an average of 17% of severe disempowerment or human extinction from AI.)
It's popular to say that it's better that the US builds it instead of China, or that OpenAI builds it instead of Google, but that's just not what the evidence says. What we know about the science of AI Safety so far (including observations of current systems) tells us that no matter who builds it, it would just be a game over button for everyone.
I don't feel any better about the US extincting humanity than if China were to do it. We have to coordinate on a global scale to prevent the worst-case-scenario (which as far as I can tell is actually the most likely scenario -- the people who have worked the longest on the problem are usually the most worried). We see the beginnings of that coordination already, since scientists from all over the world are concerned about this issue. I hope we see more of that. More than hope, I joined an org called PauseAI to actually do something about it. I can't just sit around and wait to find out whether we get to survive.
Blessing or a curse is irrelevant, it’s a bigger deal than humanity so must be accelerated
Your readers should fear AI and automation. The general public should embrace it.
✓ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it knows only things of the flesh which are our fleshly desires and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as true love and eternal joy that comes from obeying God's Word. Man is a spirit and has a soul but lives in a body which is flesh. When you go to bed it is the flesh that sleeps, but your spirit never sleeps and that is why you have dreams, unless you have died in peace physically. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart. When I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'. But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons those are things of the flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. However, true love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as patience and faith - in the finished work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, rather than in what man has done such as science, technology and organizations which won't last forever. To avoid sin and error which leads to the death of your body and your spirit-soul in hell fire (second death), you must make God's Word the standard for your life, not AI. If not, God will let you face AI on your own (with your own strength) and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. The prove text can be found in the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 2, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21.
*HOW TO MAKE GOD'S WORD THE STANDARD FOR YOUR LIFE?*
You should read your Bible slowly, attentively and repeatedly, having this in mind that Christianity is not a religion but a Love relationship. It's all about I love God and I love my neighbor. Matthew 5:13 says, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men." Our spirits can only be purified while in the body (while on earth) but after death anything unpurified (unclean) cannot enter Heaven Gates. No one in his right mind can risk or even bare to put anything rotten into his body nor put the rotten thing closer to the those which are not rotten. Sin makes the heart unclean but you can ask God to forgive you, to save your soul, to cleanse you of your sin, to purify your heart by the blood of His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ which He shed here on earth - "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed", Isaiah 53:5. Meditation in the Word of God is a visit to God because God is in His Word. We know God through His Word because the Word He speaks represent His heart's desires. Meditation is a thing of the heart, not a thing of the mind. Thinking is lower level while meditation is upper level. You think of your problems, your troubles but inorder to meditate, you must let go of your own will, your own desires, your own ways and let the Word you read prevail over thinking process by thinking of it more and more, until the Word gets into your blood and gains supremacy over you. That is when meditation comes - naturally without forcing yourself, turning the Word over and over in your heart. You can be having a conversation with someone while meditating in your heart - saying 'Thank you, Jesus...' over and over in your heart. But it is hard to meditate when you haven't let go of offence and past hurts. Your pain of the past, leave it for God, don't worry yourself, Jesus is alive, you can face tomorrow, He understands what you are passing through today. Begin to meditate on this prayer day and night (in all that you do), "Lord take more of me and give me more of you. Give me more of your holiness, faithfulness, obedience, self-control, purity, humility, love, goodness, kindness, patience, forgiveness, wisdom, understanding, calmness, perseverance... Make me a channel of shinning light where there is darkness, a channel of pardon where there is injury, a channel of love where there is hatred, a channel of humility where there is pride..." The Word of God becomes a part of us by meditation, not by saying words but spirit prayer (prayer from the heart). When the Word becomes a part of you, it will by its very nature influence your conduct and behavior. Your bad habits, you will no longer have the urge to do them. You will think differently, dream differently, act differently and talk differently - if something does not qualify for meditation, it does not qualify for conversation. Glory and honour be to God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Helper the Holy Spirit. Let us watch and pray.
AI to the first step in a new life form. I think of it as an evolution from biological to android. Homoandroidus.
